The 23-year-old singer, whose parents are "King Richard" star Will Smith and "Red Table Talk" host Jada Pinkett Smith, revealed in a recent interview that the " nepo baby " label — used to describe kids of famous people who pursue similar careers — continues to motivate her to create her own path with music.

Willow Smith said being called a "nepo baby" encouraged her to work hard to "prove them wrong". The 23-year-old singer, who is the daughter of Will Smith, 55, and Jada Pinkett Smith, 52, admitted she was "wrongly internalising the negativity from the outside" due to her privileged background,

The 23-year-old told Allure she’s “never going to deny” having privilege, but the criticism itself has “driven” her “to work really hard to prove them wrong.”

Willow Smith has opened up about being labelled a “nepo baby” due to the fame and success of her parents, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. The singer, 23, spoke about feeling “insecurity” when it comes to questions about her own career in an interview with Allure published on 2 May.
